God is so awesome! I Thank him because He always give me everything I need. I need Him to help me get a better understanding of Him. I want to know more about Him. What kind of Church should I go to that teaches nothing less than the truth?

Don’t go to church at all. Why? GOD isn’t in there. I used to be a staunch church attendee, but about ten years ago The LORD told us that the spirit of error (1 John 4:6 kjv), is what’s in the church now. What you need to know is how to become born again. So, how does someone become born again and what exactly does it mean to be born again? And why do you have to be born again? I’ll give an example of a frog. A frog could be sorry all day that it’s a frog. But after apologising to GOD for his frog ways and confessing all of his frog ways, at the end of it he’d still be a frog. In the same way sinners can’t help but be a sinner because they were born that way. So GOD in His Infinite Wisdom provided a way to become not a sinner, to be BORN AGAIN. What am I saying? A sinner isn’t just a sinner because they commit sins. They are a sinner because they truly were born that way. That is why Yehoshua HaMaShiach told Nicodemus in John 3:5-7 that he MUST be born again in order to enter His, ( Yehoshua’s) heavenly kingdom. Every person born into this world was born with a nature to sin, they can’t help it. It’s written in their very DNA code to sin. They really and truly CAN NOT be anything else but a sinner. So the only way to not be a sinner is to be BORN AGAIN. Now how does one become born again? What does the Bible say? “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭ Some people say they have repented of their sins, but to truly repent you have to stop doing it. Like the example I gave you. That frog will always be a frog no matter how much he tries to turn away from it because he really and truly was born that way. That frog can never stop being a frog, a sinner can never stop being a sinner unless they are born again with no sin in their genetics. So you can apologize profusely to Yehoshua and try to stop doing sin with your body but unless you can replace your dna with a sinless one you’ll always be a sinner. There’s good news though, there’s only One Being Who can change your genetics and you’d still be you and you’d now be sinLESS and that is The True And Living GOD Yehoshua HaMaShiach. So what do you do to become born again. First you repent. Now what? The scripture I quoted above says you need to be baptized in The Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach (Jesus Christ’s original Hebrew Name). Once you have been baptized this was you being born again of the water as Yehoshua commanded in John 3:5. Some people will tell you that baptism doesn’t save you. Well besides Yehoshua HIMSELF saying we need to be born AGAIN of the water and He being our Perfect Example got baptized Himself (Matthew 3:13-16), ( obviously not speaking of water from our natural birth from our mothers because He said we need to be born AGAIN as in a second time), the Bible says plainly that baptism does save us: “The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us …” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬ Now what? Yehoshua also said in that same scripture that you must also be born again of the Spirit. That happens once you receive The Gift of The Holy Ghost as was told in Acts 2:38. Now how will you know that you have been born again of the Spirit(aka received The Holy Ghost)? The same way the Jews who came with Peter to the house of Cornelius did when Cornelius and his house received The Holy Ghost: “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues...” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭10‬:‭44‬-‭46‬ ‭ Tongues is another way to say language. This is how you’ll know that you have been born again of the Spirit and are now officially a member of the Kingdom of Heaven. You will now no longer be a sinner from birth but a saved born again Christian. Now I don’t know where you live and I won’t. As for baptism you can go to a YMCA and if you know someone who is saved according to the Bible as listed above take them with you and have them baptize you. If you can’t find anyone you can baptize yourself. First pray to Yehoshua HaMaShiach to anoint the water and bless it for your baptism beyt (bet) HaShem (Ha-Shem) Yehoshua (Yeh-ho-shew-ah) HaMaShiach (Ha-Meh-Shee-Akh) Amen. Then say, “beyt HaShem Yehoshua HaMaShiach,” and then fully submerge your total body under the water making sure everything goes under the water including your hair. You will now have been baptized. If you are ready and have truly repented of everything you will immediately receive the Holy Ghost as you come up out of the water. Oh just in case you don’t know to repent means to totally and completely turn your back to sin and turn fully towards Yehoshua HaMaShiach no longer wanting any part of a life of sin. Okay that’s all. Beyt HaShem Ha Yehoshua HAMaSHIACH, (in the Name of Jesus Christ in original Hebrew), I pray that I said this in a way that all who read it will understand this and prayerfully also become truly born again and a true citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven Beyt HaShem Yehoshua HaMaShiach I pray Amen.

First off, and I mean no harm but, you’ve missed part of the story of what happened in the beginning with Adam and Eve. The fall of mankind didn’t happen until after Adam ate as well. You see in The LORD’S eyes husbands and wives really are one and not two. The scripture says specifically this: “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭ See? The fall happened after Adam also “ate.” Why? Because they were one: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ ‭ Okay secondly you didn’t tell them how to become saved, to become born again. You probably meant to but we’re in a rush or something. So I’ll say it here. So, how do you become saved? How do you become born again? And why do you have to be born again? Now why do you have to be born again? You might ask. I’ll give an example of a frog. A frog could be sorry all day that it’s a frog. But after apologising to GOD for his frog ways and confessing all of his frog ways, at the end of it he’d still be a frog. In the same way as this frog can’t help but be a frog no matter how he tries, sinners can’t help but be a sinner because they were born that way the same way as this frog was born a frog. So YEHOSHUA in His Infinite Wisdom provided a way to become not a sinner, to be BORN AGAIN. What am I saying? A sinner isn’t just a sinner because they commit sins. They are a sinner because they truly were born that way. Every person born into this world was born with a nature to sin, they can’t help it. It’s written in their very DNA code to sin. They really and truly CAN NOT be anything else but a sinner. So the only way to not be a sinner is to be BORN AGAIN. Now, why must someone be sinless? You might ask, because if they stand before The Almighty full of sin they will be obliterated. The thing is in eternity nothing ever ends or begins, it always just IS. So if a sinful person stood before the Lord and was obliterated it wouldn’t stop with just once they would come back into being and be obliterated over and over again for all of eternity, (which never ends by the way). That is why Yehoshua HaMaShiach told Nicodemus in John 3:5-7 that he MUST be born again in order to enter His, ( Yehoshua’s) heavenly kingdom. Here is what it says exactly: “Yehoshua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Yehoshua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬-‭7‬ ‭ Yehoshua also said this: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved…” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭16‬ ‭ “…But ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭ The person that believes and is baptized shall be saved. Not just believes but also is baptized. This will make a person born again of the water and of the Spirit. Think of it like an eternal spacesuit. You know how people can’t go into outer space without a spacesuit on or they’d die immediately? Well like I explained already so would someone full of sin if they stood before Yehoshua HaMaShiach full of sin. So, how do you get your eternal spacesuit so you can live in heaven? The Bible says this, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭ How will you know that you have received The Holy Ghost? The same way the Jews did when Cornelius and his house did when they received the Holy Ghost: “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues…” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭10‬:‭44‬-‭46‬ ‭ “Tongues,” is another way to say “language.” It’s speaking of the language that born again people use in prayer. See this is how you’ll know that you have been born again. This is what Paul did and said concerning helping people become born again when he was speaking to people who already believed:‭ “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Yehoshua HaMaShiach. When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues…” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭ This is how you become saved, born again. You will now no longer be a sinner from birth but a saved born again Christian. You will now have your eternal “spacesuit,” and be a citizen of the kingdom of Heaven. Beyt HaShem Ha Yehoshua HAMaSHIACH, (in the Name of Jesus Christ in original Hebrew), I pray that I said this in a way that all who read it will understand this and prayerfully also become truly born again and a true citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven Beyt HaShem Yehoshua HaMaShiach I pray Amen.

We know in great detail the role of Jesus in salvation. What we still don't know is the role of man! Why does this role have to exist? Because man was made in the image of God. And there are no free Paradises. We have to deserve it. And what did man do for this? Have we left everything in God's hands? I don't believe it!

[@marthangafor6414]

You cannot earn salvation. That's the whole point of Christ. His death is restorative for us. When we are saved, Jesus gives us The Holy Spirit to help us do God's will. We can't do it by ourselves. But with Him, we can outdo ourselves in ways we could never imagine.

SALVATION...IS NOT GETTING SAVED FROM GOD, NOT FROM HELL, NOT FROM GOD HURTING YOU...BUT FROM SIN ITSELF! So many Christian priests, ministers, preachers and teachers (especially Neo Evangelicals) characterize "salvation" as being saved from Hell or from Purgatory or from God making you suffer in any way, shape or form as a punishment... but Jesus characterized it as being saved FROM SIN itself! To be clear, "sin," as Jesus explained it, is doing things that hurt people or neglecting to do things that one could do to relieve the suffering of others regardless of who or what is causing it! The tough part, though, is to really understand that it does no good to think the only reason for not doing bad things is because some kind of "cop," whether an earthly police officer or a "Divine Cop" will catch you and hurt you...as a sort of deterrent. The reason--because this changes nothing inside the mind or heart! It's clear this is the case because one often hears many a Neo Evangelical say, when confronted with the idea that Hell does not exist--"Why, if there's no Hell, then we can do whatever we want--rape, murder, steal...it doesn't matter!" Yeah, do what are they really telling us? That, deep down, these people who claim to believe in Jesus, really STILL do want to rape, murder and steal! So, do they actually BELIEVE in Jesus? Probably not! Perhaps it would help if the biblical Greek word PISTIS, often translated as "belief" were better rendered in English as "realization." When a person actually REALIZES the Good News, s/he has come to the understanding that it's utterly foolish to lead a life of hurting others, not only for the fact that it is just, plain wrong to cause others to suffer, but also because of it's DIRECT EFFECT on the person doing the hurting--MISERY WITHIN! A real believer in Jesus is one who is freed from the "power of sin--the delusional belief so many cling to, the idea that doing things that hurt others can actually make one happy! However, once a person gets the revelation and, finally, understands the promises of living a life of sin (hurting others) are false, then it becomes possible to understand the real truth--that it's only by leading a life of doing good, loving others and helping those who suffer, when one can actually have a joyous life, right now! Tragically, there are so many false bible preachers and teachers who have twisted the Good News of Jesus into very bad news! They would have us believe God actually causes people to suffer, as revenge, and some go so far as to claim God has something within his very nature that compels him to cause others to suffer (his "holiness"). But the Good News, the Gospel, is that God wants just the opposite! He wants to stop suffering! Of course, He wants the suffering of those who are hurt by people to stop, but He also wants the suffering within minds and hearts of those causing others to suffer to stop! So, the last thing the God of Jesus of Nazareth would want to do is ADD TO all the suffering we humans bring on ourselves by causing even more!!!

Explanation was going beautiful until you said "6000 years ago". The Bible message is the word of God but not interpreted always in a literal way. Please study about the literary genres God uses through prophets to talk to us.
